		<h1>[name]</h1>

		<p class="desc">
		A 2D path representation. The class provides methods for creating paths and contours of 2D shapes similar to the 2D Canvas API.
		</p>

		<h2>Code Example</h2>

		<code>
		const path = new THREE.Path();

		path.lineTo( 0, 0.8 );
		path.quadraticCurveTo( 0, 1, 0.2, 1 );
		path.lineTo( 1, 1 );

		const points = path.getPoints();

		const geometry = new THREE.BufferGeometry().setFromPoints( points );
		const material = new THREE.LineBasicMaterial( { color: 0xffffff } );

		const line = new THREE.Line( geometry, material );
		scene.add( line );
		</code>


		<h2>Constructor</h2>


		<h3>[name]( [param:Array points] )</h3>
		<p>
		points -- (optional) array of [page:Vector2 Vector2s].<br /><br />

		Creates a Path from the points. The first point defines the offset, then successive points
		are added to the [page:CurvePath.curves curves] array as [page:LineCurve LineCurves].<br /><br />

		If no points are specified, an empty path is created and the [page:.currentPoint] is set to
		the origin.
		</p>


		<h2>Properties</h2>
		<p>See the base [page:CurvePath] class for common properties.</p>

		<h3>[property:Vector2 currentPoint]</h3>
		<p>The current offset of the path. Any new [page:Curve] added will start here.</p>


		<h2>Methods</h2>
		<p>See the base [page:CurvePath] class for common methods.</p>

		<h3>[method:this absarc]( [param:Float x], [param:Float y], [param:Float radius], [param:Float startAngle], [param:Float endAngle], [param:Boolean clockwise] )</h3>
		<p>
